You are not going to be able to verify it simply because it isn't true.
Sponsors pay millions to buy spots on his show and many small radio stations
that
carry an array of other conservative talk shows don't carry Rush's because
they can't afford it.

I once asked the programming director of one of our local stations why they
didn't choose to run Rush. She said they run Imus, Boortz, Hanity, O'Reilly,
and Savage and that only two hours of Rush would cost more than all those
combined!

The records show that Rush contributes heavily to the Republican Party and
other conservative causes rather than the other way around.

Air America existing as a result of donations from wealthy liberals as
opposed to the conservative shows that are supported by the people
(indirectly
through sponsors realizing millions of people want to list to them) is a very
fundamental and significant difference. The notion that the conservative
talk
shows are supported by conservative political bodies is only an unreasonable
myth.
Seems to me it'd be good for this to be straight in one's mind before one
proceeded on to enlighten the world about aught else.
